Tom N put together a small weekend trip in the catskill mountains of NY. Camped fri and sat. Started out Friday at Dimmick Inn in Milford PA. Cool 2nd floor drinking area. I drank too much whiskey Friday night and it ruined the first half of my Saturday ugh. We saw some cool cars at […]
I don’t think this is a topic anyone has ever talked about on this site. Everything below is super self-explanatory, so, scan as necessary… I always go for the cheapest auto insurance. I have Progressive mc insurance. The maximum number of motorcycles you can have per policy is 4. For the bare minimum coverage of […]
Back story: I’ve always liked fast cars. Shit, I worked 2 jobs all summer when I was 18 so I could afford to put an Acura integra motor into a Honda crx. I was a janitor during the day, ha, and worked at a gas station at night. Crx was fast as shit and I […]
I recently found out about this old movie. It’s a bizarre movie in that weird 70’s biker movie kinda way so it’s definitely worth watching. It’s about the Gravediggers crew of bikers and they all ride Kawasaki Z1 900’s. Anyone know of other old biker movies where they ride Japanese bikes? It would be cool […]

Last month marked 6 years of owning my ’76 CB550. It all started with Ed breaking down in Morgantown, PA on our way back from Denver, CO in 2010. Lucky for us, the house we broke down in front of was a motorcyclist and helped us out. While at his house we got to check […]
Today we: – drank coffee – did a chilly early morning ride to New Hope – got boners checking out tons of cool old motorcycles – saw lots of good friends – ate Dilly burgers – rode more fun roads heading back to Philly – drank beers – drank more beers Glad everyone met up […]
We know… Kawasaki’s are the fast bikes of the 70s / 80s. Eddie Lawson was the factory Kaw racer of the very early 80s. – Kaw big 4-cyls started out with the z1 (73-75) – z1 became a kz900 (76-77) – kz900 became a kz1000 (77-83?) In early 80s, kawasaki took the J motor kz1000 […]
Dana and Ali were kind enough to let Francione and myself hop on the first part of their LA vacation to see Rick and Heather. I jumped at the opportunity because I knew what it would mean for us… desert ripping. Day One: -Flew in and rented a Wrangler for the desert. -Hung out at Rick and […]

I appreciate that my Grandma still takes the time to write me letters and with the occasional newspaper clipping. If you guys haven’t been to the Motorcyclepediamuseum in Newburgh, NY it’s worth a visit if you’re ever in the area. They have a pretty variety of stuff motorcycles. When I visited they had a chocolate […]

Due to the stuck crank and the sick smell of mouse piss coming from the motor I decided it was necessary to split the cases to clean and inspect everything. I was happy to find that all the internals appear to be in good condition after a good cleaning. The stuck crank seems to just […]
120+ mph on Kelly Drive. Don’t know who this dude is but there has to be more to the story of why the ghetto bird was after him. I doubt it was for going 60mph on Kelly just before stopping at the gas station. If you don’t recognize it, he starts out at the intersection […]
Nate now has the baddest 1000cc line up with this and his KZ1000. This era Harley Davidson looks awesome and pumped Nate picked this bike up.
In another life I think I could have been a machinist. I originally came across this guys youtube from a post on Practical Machinist about how to move machinery. This is some of the best instructional type videos I’ve seen and it helps that he uses a GoPro camera. I can’t wait to have a […]

You can rebuild an engine quickly or you can take your time and be anal as fuck. That’s why it has taken me so long to post this final follow-up (Part 2) to my KZ650 Performance Project. Truthfully I just took my sweet ass time while still being anal about every step. See Part 1 to […]
I picked this up last summer in a box. It was cheap enough to take a chance on getting it back together. So far the bad consists of: – Broken tap in the shock mount – Missing some parts (fork internals, oem headlight) – Some really crappy repairs on the frame and motor – Cylinder […]
